I have a 5 year old SaaS in the data space with $3m ARR. All organic growth from SEO, no paid ads. 100% bootstrapped. I have an army of 2 AE’s (it’s a talk to sales product afterall, we thought it was self serve & monthly subs for too long. So we switched to annual contracts) I’m looking for a VC/strategic acquirer to take over entirely (full exit) that can build a sales/marketing team and get it to the level it deserves. That sort of operation is not what I want to do with my life. Know anyone?

You may want to sell your business through business brokers, VCs would likely pass since no management team is in place. What is your AOV and LTV?

like

Thank you. Varies between two products. One product Average deal sizes $4k. The other Avg is $12k. LTV too early to tell since the switch from monthly to annual only. So I’m in a bit of a pickle giving a figure on that one.

VCs generally take minority stakes. What you need is private equity

Thank you

I’ve noticed that HR, when explaining why a candidate didn’t get the job, tend to lean on “You’re great, but we had candidates with more experience in [skill relevant to the job].” I do believe this is true in some cases, but it can’t possibly be for all of them.

A question for VCs: I’m currently a VC analyst. I want to eventually come back to the VC industry and perhaps become a partner (if possible). However, there’s an opportunity to work at an Endowment Fund (Harvard/Yale/Stanford level). Would you recommend me to spend the next 3-4 years doing something that’s not directly VC related? Would it be hard for me to come back to the VC industry with this experience? Why or why not? Thank you so much for your time and help!
